Shinhan bank!

The large company that surprises everyone?

Valve Corporation

Then it turns out Gabe Newell has secretly hired some ex-Brood War developers and are developing a free-to-play spiritual successor to Brood War that will go into closed beta later this year. Their sponsorship of SSL9 serves only to promote their new game.

TeamLiquid.net implodes, Blizzard fires a lawsuit at Valve, r/starcraft on reddit shuts down, Fomos and PlayXP denounce Starcraft 2 and David Kim, Korean players from both SC2 and LoL vow to switch en masse to Valve's new game and KeSPA signs an agreement with Valve to make it a Proleague 2014 - 2015 title to phase out SC2 entirely.

It's obvious. Midas. They're giving it away already.

Also, HL3 will be announced there.

I could live the rest of my life happy if BW were to stay like this. Sonic, you are an amazing man. Without you, I have no idea what the state of BW would be. SSL/SOSPA gives me so much hope!
